November 17, 2018 — Happy Thanksgiving is happy “thanksliving” as long as you are thankful for all your many blessings from Almighty God: life, health, healing, house, food, clothes, shoes, socks, job, parents, relatives, friends and a mind to be able to think correctly. We live in the greatest nation

November 14, 2018 — Your editorial describing the midterm election results as "baffling" (“Colorado voters show baffling inconsistencies but make clear state remains purple“) ignores the real impetus behind the Blue Wave. Republicans were swept out of office in numbers not seen since Watergate because an ever-increasing number of

November 14, 2018 — I think all of us have experienced the phenomenon of family who no longer speak to each other. And with the passage of time the parties often don't even remember why the palpable silence. Literature is replete with this theme and the so avoidable tragedies

November 13, 2018 — My doorbell rang Saturday morning, and my wife said a gentleman at the door wanted to see me. My first thought, of course, was, “What did I do wrong now?!” But it was, to my surprise, a Mr. Artie Martinez who was returning my wallet

November 13, 2018 — The downtown Kress Cinema & Lounge has added help for the hearing impaired. They have available an individual device that has subtitles of the movie playing. It works great. I just enjoyed using it myself to see an indie movie that I couldn’t see at

November 10, 2018 — In the past few weeks our nation has suffered two mass shootings. In Pittsburgh, 11 were struck down while at worship. In Thousand Oaks, Calif., 12 died at a nightclub. In addition, 13 package bombs were delivered to various national figures. All the perpetrators of

November 10, 2018 — Thumbs up to the nearly 100 business professionals, owners and sponsors who participated in the UCHealth PVH and MCR Foundation's annual Greeley Golf Classic, presented by Advanced Medical Imaging Consultants. The event, put on at Greeley Country Club, raised more than $40,000 to assist patients

November 7, 2018 — I don't often say anything about a football team except for maybe my favorites, and I certainly know that football has up and down games and seasons. However, living in Greeley and reading big articles about how UNC football has lost again and some excuse

November 7, 2018 — Jared, I am a real estate appraiser who lives here in northern Colorado. As an appraiser, I have had the opportunity to provide services to what I term almost every section of society. From the rich to the almost poor, from the left wing radical

November 3, 2018 — A recent writer complained, "Endorsements for midterm are purely partisan." How funny. Can one endorse someone from the opposing party and be "purely partisan?” The Tribune is biased toward Republicans, thus I was surprised to see no bias in the endorsements, which was refreshing. No

November 3, 2018 — Making a difference, that's something everyone says they want to do, but few step up to make that difference count. Tommy Butler, our candidate for Weld County Council at-large, is a rising star who wants to bring transparency, accountability, accessibility and fiscal responsibility to the

November 2, 2018 — Automobile companies, drug manufacturers and virtually every maker of anything have spent millions of dollars hiring behavioral scientists to effectively manipulate us into thinking we need their product. It obviously works. Why else would they spend millions of dollars on advertising? A few decades back

November 2, 2018 — The Assistance League of Greeley is extremely grateful to everyone who made our Reclaimed Art Auction and Film Festival (RAAFF) a success. Patrons bid on all 50 — art pieces donated by 35 talented artists. (All art found forever homes.) The event was dependent on

November 2, 2018 — Thank you to the generous sponsors, nearly 500 volunteers and 410 service providers — who worked at more than 70 on-site free services — in making the eighth annual Weld Project Connect on Oct. 19 at Island Grove Park in Greeley a success. We served

November 1, 2018 — Something ugly happened at The Tribune. Actually, a couple of somethings. In one instance, an eminently qualified candidate, whose endorsement by a former president was blatantly ignored by The Tribune, was snidely accused of having an active interest in politics. Meanwhile, her opponent received endorsement

November 1, 2018 — The recent Tribune endorsements of political candidates merit a review of the purposes and criteria for the endorsements. Is the purpose to provide information, support certain candidates, or both? It appears the criteria were experience, qualifications, accomplishments, fit for district and position on issues. On

November 1, 2018 — To kick off Veteran's Week in northern Colorado, Tribute to Veterans will be hosted from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at the Embassy Suites Loveland. In addition to a patriotic program honoring all veterans at noon, a live band, family activities (such as face

November 1, 2018 — The recent endorsements made by the The Tribune Editorial Board concerning candidates for state and local governmental offices shows an outright incompetence toward making reasonable and logical projections. Hoping a candidate can make improvements in governing skills as compared to running a campaign, which is

November 1, 2018 — When an article is given as news, I want it free of bias. I notice that anything considered bad done by Republicans is maximized, but anything bad by Democrats and the left is minimized. Remarks made by Maxine Waters, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Madonna and others

November 1, 2018 — If oil companies would have been more responsible to the neighborhoods and schools, Proposition 112 would not have been put on the ballot. If you ever experience multiple oil wells in your back yard, you will understand why I am voting “yes” on 112. Water
